"His is the music of America. He sang the songs of the people he loved, of a young nation growing strong. His was an America of glistening rails, thundering boxcars, and rain-swept night, of lonesome prairies, great mountains and a high blue sky. He sang of the bayous and the cornfields, the wheated plains, of the little towns, the cities, and of the winding rivers of America." -- inscribed on the Jimmie Rodgers statue in Meridian, Mississippi
Was the movie "Honky Tonk Man" about Jimmie Rogers?

My Dad always had this tune on when I was a kid. The line "when it rained down sorrow, it rained all over me" most probably the most heartfelt authentic and accurate line ever written in music.
